A federal judge is holding a hearing on the fate of the Michigan presidential recount. Judge Mark Goldsmith is questioning a state assistant attorney-general, who is telling the judge that the recount should be dumped, in light of a state court ruling that Green Party candidate Jill Stein was not eligible to seek a recount. Judge Goldsmith isn’t accepting that so far, and the state elections board will meet this afternoon and has the authority to stop the recount.
